Ian McMillan The Barnsley Poet Portrait Painting by Steve Greaves "Hi there: yep I saw the picture... excellent! You've captured me well there". Ian McMillan
Acrylic Portrait Painting on Board 2003 4 x 5 ins Frame: silver metal Mount: white Original Painting For Sale £400
This small Acrylic Portrait Painting of The Barnsley Poet Ian McMillan was supposed to be a rough study for a larger Painting but I like it enough not to bother doing a bigger version.
Ian McMillan is a Funny Poet, Television and BBC Radio Four personality known for his broad Yorkshire accent. He is seen on Have I Got News For You and Newsnight Review.
Ian McMillan came into the school where I work one day to do a Poetry Workshop with some year 8 students and I got chance to photograph him in action. One of the photographs was used in the local newspaper.
There is no pencil drawing in this Painting. It was quickly drawn with a brush using cobalt blue. Then it was built up using a kind of Lucien Freud Painting style without too much blending. Ian had a blue shirt on which didn't work so I painted over it with grey- black.
This Portrait Painting of Ian McMillan has received a couple of Painting Art Awards - it was commended by the judges at the South Yorkshire Open Art Exhibition and was awarded 1st prize in the advanced section of the Swinton Lock Art Exhibition 2003.
Ian Mc Millan lives in the same village as myself - Darfield, Barnsley, and we share the same barber - Mad Geoff.
